In a special "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance, the "Dancing with the Stars" professional dancers will honor Michael Jackson's music and influence on dance with a fusion of classic ballroom and Latin styles. Choreographed by the professional dancers, this performance will pay tribute in a medley of three of Michael Jackson's hit songs representing different styles and eras of his work.

After a night of Waltz, Jitterbug and the first competition Mambo group routine, the remaining nine couples face their first Dance-Off double elimination as the eighth and ninth couples eliminated from the competition are announced.
